I'm just sad Mary, Kristen W., Kristen S., Jessica, Melissa, Heather, and Tsh hadn't made it yet for that picture… :).

And, have you heard the big announcement at incourage???   We're really thinkin' outside the box!

I've been vacationing on Hilton Head Island for over 25 years, and it never ceases to amaze me–its beauty, nature and perfect fit for family, fun and/or ROMANCE (one of my best anniversary trips ever!).  The beach begs me to come back, delicious restaurants make me want to try them ALL and it's a place memories are waiting to be made.  I love it and there's a reason I keep returning ~ smile ~.

More on everything soon, but for now I I have to say thanks….

With gratitude to infinity and beyond to ~

DaySpring for believing in and supporting our writing team and the incourage community, and for making this trip happen…

The Hilton Head Island Convention & Visitor's Bureau and Jessica Gardo for coordinating our amazing accommodations

One Hot Mama's for a delicious catered dinner Wednesday night

I unabashedly recommend a vacation to Hilton Head (I've been traveling here since the 80s) and your use of one and all of the above; not because of what they treated us to, but because each is excellent at what they do!!
